Cooking proteins en papillote is a sure fire way to ensure that they stay perfectly moist. And what does this French phrase mean exactly? It translates to in parchment and is a method of cooking where food is cooked in a parchment parcel in the oven. This way it steams with whatever other aromatics, vegetables or spices are in the parchment parcel, making a very healthy dish time and time again.
This lovely halibut dish is cooked this way, and is finished off with a fresh relish made with the season’s juiciest Meyer lemons. The zest and juice of the lemons are combined with green olives, shallots, red onion, green onions and toasted walnuts. A unique relish that would work with just about any fish fillet you like. I chose to cook grouper en papillote for this recipe, but halibut, snapper, salmon or even shrimp would work beautifully as well.
